Booki Chapter29 Alphas P.O.V. ** One week later ** Ava got permission to leave the hospital yesterday . She was still on crutches , but was aloud to leave . We have spent the last week getting to know each other better and fix our broken relationship . Right now however is our first official date . Ryders P.O.V. I am really excited for our date . And also freaking out . I want Ava to stay with us , but it has been sixteen years since we really interacted with women a lot . After Ava , we swore off of them until he found her again . Everyone was shocked at that development in our pack because Asher and I had been playboys . We never explained why , but people figured it out . I mean we had no one but ourselves . Mom was dead and dad was too . Uncle was a prick , but now he is dead . When I look at it , most of our blood family are dead . It didnt really affect us except our parents death . I knew Asher was also nervous for our date . I mean what if we screwed up ? What if Ava didnt want us ? My wolf made an appearance at those words , Mate will always want us . He sounded really confident , something that for the first time in a long time I am not . We had picked the perfect venue for the date . Ava loved the forest and was more comfortable in a less fancy location . I had set everything up myself with Asher earlier today . Emma assured us it was perfect for her mom . She was really helpful with it all . Right now , Asher and I are standing in front of Avas door , knocking . I hear a faint , Come in ! I do and see Ava all dressed and ready but sitting at the window . She was looking at us . I ask her , Are you ready to go , love ? She blushes , Yes , but I left my crutches on the other side of the room . Instead of getting them for her , I scoop her into my arms . Asher went to the car to get it started . I was lucky , I got to sit with my Ava in the back of the car . Book1 Chapter29 1/4 Ava tells me , still blushing , I can walk you know . I smirk , But I love carrying you love . All three of us were a lot more comfortable after a week of getting to know each other . I walk out of the building Ava lived in . She had moved back to her regular room . I gently set her down and buckled her in while she was blushing a furious color of red . I wondered what she was thinking to make her blush like that . During the ride , Ava talks , So where are we going ? Its a surprise , I tell her . She pouts , Not even a hint . I smile , Heres a hint : its a date . Ava pouts even more , damn I cant handle her doing that , Im going to give the game away . I was about to give in when Asher gives me a look . I can read it , it means he will be pissed if I tell her . To distract me and her , I pick her up and put her on my lap . Once again , Ava blushes . I feel like I am behaving like the 20 year old I was when I met her rather than a 36 year old . Ava tells me , Your distraction didnt work . I groan , Really , it didnt . She smiles , Nope . Asher saved me by announcing , We are here . I put a blindfold on Ava despite her protests , I mean do I really need a blindfold , Ryder ? Asher answers , Its more of a surprise . He swoops in and picks her up . She lets out a surprised squeak , but quickly settles into his arms . I love the feeling of being all three of us gives me , something I havent had since we last met sixteen years ago . We quickly got to our chosen location and Asher put Ava down . I stepped behind her , closer than necessary , to remove the blindfold . The moment she saw what we did Ava gasped , Its beautiful . Asher and I both smile . This is definitely the reaction we wanted to have . I knew that this was a good idea . She turned around and kissed us both , that is something else I could get used to . Ava only started doing it a day or two ago . It was easy for her to trust us again because every fiber of her being was Book1 Chapter29 2/4 saying to . I picked Ava back up to settle her on the blanket . She was expecting it . Asher took out of the food that we packed into a basket . I started a conversation , So do you like it ? I love it so much , Ryder . It was really thoughtful , she gushed . Meanwhile Asher gave her a plate of her favorite foods ( IDK what the foods are though ) . She took a bite of it and moaned out loud . Both Asher and I groaned , this was going to be a long night if she kept up with this . Ashers P.O.V. As I stared at Ava , I wondered how we got so lucky to have her as our mate . Ava is so strong and beautiful , raising our pups by herself and making a name for herself with the Smith Organization . She was so fucking perfect in every way ! It broke my heart to know what she has gone through uselessly . The rest of the night was a perfect dream for her and for us . I never thought that I would have this again , this feeling of contentement , this feeling of being complete . I was jarred from my thoughts by Ava asking , Why are you staring at me ? Why wouldnt I stare at the most beautiful and precious thing in the world ? I answer . Ava blushes a deep crimson color and I am forced to adjust myself . This night is beautiful and I hope there are many to come in our future because I couldnt not stand to be separated from her a second time Book1 Chapter29 In "A Relationship Kept in The Dark" by CrushReel, the storyline unfolds as renowned photographer Jane finds herself drawn to the charismatic rookie model, Hector.
